They have the 15th pick in this draft, but have to trade their 2025 and 2027 firsts.

Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, 15th pick in 2024 draft, 2026 pick swap, 2029 unprotected first.

Would Cleveland do that? Should they?

Mitchell has 2 years left on this deal after this season, but that final season is a player option. His trade value isn’t going to go up the longer Cleveland hangs on to him. Herro + Jovic + 15th pick slotted in with Garland/Mobley/Strus/Allen helps keep them in a solid spot in the East, especially if Garland can bounce back with the ball in his hands more.
